SIX COMMON TYPES OF WIRE TERMINALS

Wire terminal is a device designed to terminate a wire that is fixed to a post, bolt, chassis, another joint, etc., to establish an electrical connection. Due to the different sizes of wires and screws, wire terminals come in many different shapes and sizes. Here are 6 types as below.

1. Ring terminal

Ring terminals easily allow screws or studs to be connected, connecting two or more wires to a single connection point, such as a circuit protection device. The ring terminal is either crimped or soldered to the wire. Choosable in insulated or non-insulated.

2. Bullet Terminals

Bullet terminals are circular female and male connectors that cooperate with each other to connect or disconnect wired connections. The round plug terminal is specially designed to connect the same size hollow body plug. The bullet connector that connects the jack to the jack creates a safe and high-quality connection.

3. Butt Terminals/splice

The butt terminal connects or terminates single or multiple wires. It helps prevent fraying and cutting. In addition, this additional protection helps prevent moisture, corrosion, and other negative factors. Muti materials are available, such as heat shrink, nylon-insulated, vinyl-insulated, cool-seal, non-insulated, etc.

4. Spade Terminals

Spade Terminals are also called spade connectors or fork terminals due to the shape of the terminal. the open-ended spade terminal is convenient to use allowing easy attachment or removal from the screw. Especially for wire harness projects that are tight on space for installation.

5. Quick-Disconnect Terminals

A quick-disconnect terminal provides convenient and reliable usage while also offering an easy connect and disconnect between two wires. They are commonly found in auto, industrial, and consumer products. Quick-Disconnect Terminals additionally deliver a stable and durable connection. Available in insulated or non-insulated, semi-insulated, or full-insulated.

6. Flag Terminals

The flag terminal is also called a flag connector, which provides convenient and safe connection. The sign terminal works well in tight spaces and when the quick disconnect is too large. Provide quick and easy connection and disconnection. It can also be used for insulation and non-insulation.
